Wednesday. Ajnl 16, 1890. 5
On Monday moraine the Kast Liberty
cattle market opened strong and active at an
advance of 15 to 25c on rates of last week.
This was dne to the light run, there being
only 50 loads on the market against 75 the
week before. The advance in rates was
well maintained through Monday, and
holders were more independent in their
Ties of values than they have been for
many weeks past. A leading commission
man said on Monday: "We are now, after
long waiting, having our innings, and the
only trouble is that we do not have ennugh
stock on hands to reap big profits. Up to
Tuesday morning the seller felt that the
situation was so decidedly in Ins favor that he
could afford to rest on Ins oars and wait for the
buyer to come to him. But the best laid
schemes of mico and men arc often knocked
into smithereens.
On Tucsdav morning the news came over the
wnes that at Chicago 21.000 head of cattle vi ere
received on Jlonday, the larcest run of the sea
son, and that prices there had declined from 10
to 25c in consequence of the big run. East Lib
erty buyers concluded to order supplies from
Chicago rather than accede to tho demands of
sellers here, and as ,a result the Monday ad
vance was partially lost by Tuesday noon. Said
a leading stockman: "Ve would have obtained
fancy prices for all our cattle this week if Chi
cago had only let us alone. On the news re
ceived from that city, butchers sjt down on us.
and we ere forced to take less for our stock
on Tuesday or keep it until pionts would ue
wiped out by expenses."
The receipts of cattle for the week, by reason
of these later orders, were not more than 10
loads below those of last week. The offennes
onilondxy were 50 loads, 3S of which were
from Chicago. On Tuesday about 10 loads were
added from Ohio and Western Pennsylvania,
and this morning the new orders from Chicago
were filled to the extent of about a dozen loads,
Qunlity Below ifae Avornce.
The quality of cattle offered tnis week was
fair, but scarcely up to last week, when there
was a higher average than usual. There were
no strictly primes on the market. If there had
been they would have readily bronght $1 SO
5 00 per cwt. in car lots. Buffalo has.been more
favored by this grade of cattle than Pittsburg
of late and at the former place Jo 00 was ob
tained this week. At Chicago $5 35 lias lately
been paid for the high grades. But no such are
sent to this market. Our fancy butchers order
direct from Chicago.
The highest price paid at Liberty this
week was $i 85and this tor but a single carload.
The ranee for good, fair beeves, weighing 1,200
to 1,400 ft . was J4 401 75; cood. 1,100 to 1.21)0
fts, 54 204 40; fair. 9U0 to 1,100 fts, $3 804 10.
1 here were not as many calves on the market
this week as last. The range of prices was 3
JJc -p S. Extra milkers w ere hardly to be
had. The best offered ranged from S3C 0035 00
l head. First class milkers would have
brought $40 O050 00 a head.
The supplv of sheep and lambs have been
light all week, and for this reason marketsbeld
fairly steady at pi ices of a week ago.
Markets were a shade stronger on Tuesday
than Monday, and were firm this morning.
The hog market opened weak on Monday,
owing to the liberal receipts, with $4 50 as the
outside price. This morning the run was very
light and prices advanced 15c above the highest
price of Monday. It does not take many car
loads of hogs to depress markets at tnis season
of the year, as the demand from butchers is
steadily declining.

Another Flurry In Wheat, Dae to Bad Crop
Kerr Corn and Oats More. Ac
tivePork Excited nnd
Unsettled.
CHICAGO Wheat Trading was again quite
active to-day. The feeling developed consider
ably unsettled, and the action of the market
took many of the operators by surprise. The
opening was about Jc lower than closing fig
ures on 'Change yesterday, influenced by a
rather bearish feeling, and assisted by the
weaker tone of European advices. Bat a batch
of bad crop news was received, which, to
gether with rumored export purchases at the
seaboard, started an upturn in the market and
prices w ere advanced 3c for May, 2)gc for June,
and 2Kc for July above early inside figures,
then fluctuated somewhat and the closing was
2c higher for May. ljc higher lor June and Vic
higher for July than closing, figures on 'Channe
yesterday. st
There were a good many selling orders re
ceived, but the offerings for awhile were quito
heavy, but soon became absorbed under active
buying on outsidte and local account Cali
fornia parties are quoted as having bought
wheat here to-day for both June and July de
livery. A prominent local trader was reported
as having been a tree buyer. The main factor
to which the advance in prices was due was
bad crop news: Advices from the central part
of Illinois stated that the wheat looked very
bad, and the Farmers' Heview reported no im
provement in the crowiug wheat since its last
report Few bad reports were received from
Indiana. The weather in the winter wheat dis
tricts was reported warm and showery.
Corn There was a good general speculative
trade in this market, prices fluctuating fre
quently within Jc rauge. Early indica
tions were for lower prices, but as the session
advanced the market manifested considerable
strength, which was not very well maintained
at the close. The influences that effected
values were in the main local. The market
opened about Jc lower than the closing prices
of jesterday, with the feeling rather easy. A
good demand then sprang up, a large local
trader taking large quantities of May, and
several commission men were free buyers, and
July prices were forced up JJc, eased off He,
ruled steady and closed about the same as yes
terday. Oats At the opening operators were dis
posed to sell freely and produced a weak feel
ing and prices receded c The decline in
duced free buying by shorts. The offerings de
creased, a strongerfeeling prevailed and prices
advanced J4&5JC There was also good buying
oy several large operators, nut on tne advance
(Serines became larger and prices yielded a
little and the close was steady at ykHc ad
vance for May, bat about the same prices as on
yesterday for June and July. June and July
were the weakest and sold at $ic under May.
Mess Pork Quite an active business was
transacted and the market was greatly un
settled. Prices fluctuated wildly and it was
almost impossible to satisfactorily fill orders.
Early sales were made at 510c advance, but
with a little pressure to sell, a reduction of
1020c was submitted to. At the decline the
demand was brisk and prices rallied b590c
Later, the market was nervous and unsettled,
and prices receded 3010c. rallied again to out
side figures, declined 4045c, and closed steady.
Lard Trading was quite active, especially
about the middle of the sesiion. Prices ruled
rather weak early and a decline of 25c was
submitted to. Later, the feeling was stronger
and prices were advanced 175)e, but settled
back again, 25c and closed steady.
Short Rib bides An active trade was re
ported and the feeling was firm. At the
opening, the feeling was easy, ana sales wcte
made at 57c decline. Later, tne demand
improved considerably especially on local ac
count, and prices were advanced 1720c on
the whole range. Later, the feeling was not
quite so strong, and prices settled back 57f c,
and closed stead)".

ONE MORE RECRUIT.
A Boston Man Lookins Up a Manufac
turing Site in Pittsburg.
NATURAL GAS ATTEACTS HIM.
Business That is Not Transacted on Strictly
Easiness Principles.
A CUSTOM THAT SHOULD BE ABOLISHED
A Boston capitalist lias !eea in the city
since Sunday looking for a site for a large
steel "plant. He was in consultation with
Messrs. Straub & Morris yesterday, and ex
amined several properties, one of which, in
the npper part of the city, impressed him
very favorably. He wants a site with build
ings which can be easily adapted to his pur
poses. This is further evidence of the fact that
outside manufacturers are unable to com
pete with Pittsburg, owing to her unequaled
advantages, chief among which, of course,
is natural gas. A Wood street banker is said
to be interested in this enterprise.
As a general thing, business is transacted in
Pittsburg on business principles. There is
very little friction. In no city in the Union is
business better understood or more skillfully
conducted. Still there is one weak spot, which
is all the more conspicuous because of being
the solitary exception to the general rule. It
affects two of the leading interests of tho city,
and leads to frequent unpleasant complica
tions. To illustrate: When an investor takes a
notion fo buy stocks say 100 or 500 shares of
Pleasant Valley he goes to a Droker and asks
him if he can fill the order. If unable to do so
at once, he is directed to go on the market and
purchase what is wanted. Instead of stopping
at this point, as he should, after leaving his
order, the investor visits, perhaps, half a dozen
other brokers and leaves the same order with
each of them. What is the result? The brokers,
anxious to earn the commission, go on the
floor of the Exchange, and, without knowing it,
bid prices up on each other on the same order.
This is not only unjust to the brokers, but it
compels the investor to pay more for the stock.
If be would place his order with one broker,
and one only, be would accomplish his purpose
without involving half a dozen others in
trouble, with loss of time, and without moving
the market. This course would greatly
simplify business and make it easier for all
concerned.
Tho same pernicious practice attains to a
considerable extent in real estate, and that it
leads to unpleasant consequences several inci
dents of recent occurrence abundantly prove.
An owner, anxious 'to realize, places bis prop
erty in the hands of several agents for disposal.
They are aware of this, and each exerts him
self to get ahead of the other. Confusion fol
lows. Different parties make their bids, and it
occasionally happens that two agents And cus
tomers about the same time, and each effects a
swle. This has happened three times within
the last few months. Complications ensue.
Both purchasers claim the property, agents
have to bring suit for their commission and all
unite in ripping up the owner for giving occa
sion for the muddle. If the owner had put his
business in the hands of one responsible agent
all trouble'would have been avoided, aud one
agent would have found a customer sooner
than many, for the commission on a large
transaction is of sufficient importance to justi
fy him in devoting time and close attention to
it. The sooner owners recognize this fact the
better for them.
These considerations lead to the inevitable
conclusion that a real estate exchange is neces
sary to the proper and harmonious handling of
property in this city. It would at once abolish
the dual order system, and by bringing sellers,
buyers and agents together would enable each
to act understanding. There would be no
friction, no conflict, no rate cutting, but every
thing would be open and above-board. Be
sides, it would strengthen confidence, and this
In turn would stimulate business.
N
Whitney & Stephenson received the follow
ing from their Wall street correspondent: The
news from the West is decidedly conflicting,
bnt those whose information on the subject is
most reliable say that within a few days the ex
isting difficulties among the Western railroads
will be overcome, and that a restoration of all
rates, both on passenger and freight business,
will be the outcome.
One of the members of the Governing Com
mittee pointed out the fact last night that sil
ver in this country is worth a dollar an ounce
and is 1,000 fine or as near pure as the metal
can possibly be. In London silver is worth but
45d per ounce ana is only 925 fine. Conse
quently a dollar there would only be worth
about 85 cents, whereas here computed on the
basis of 1,000 fine, it would bo worth 116 cents
per pound. ""There is still plenty of chance for
inflation as shown by the foregoing.
According to the Cammack-Jones party the
market is likely to be feverisbf or a few days,
and thoy say that if the present favorable ru
mor docs not culminato in anything tangible, a
sharp decline may be looked for to follow the
temporary bullish feeling.
HOME StCDEITIES.
Citizens Traction and Brldcevruter
Gna
Slave Up a Pec.
The feature of the stock "market yesterday
was a spurt in Citizens' Traction to 66 and an
advance in Bridgewator Gas to 88. Chartiers
was weaker. Philadelphia Gas opened a little
shaky, bnt gained strength in the afternoon,
closing steady at 30Jf. Pleasant Valley lost
ground. The mining shares were featureless
and weak. Electric closed a fraction better
than the opening.
It was said orders were coming in more liber
ally, giving encouragement of a more active
market Better prices are predicted for the
street railwajs, as all of them are earning
enough to justify dividends. Sales were 420
shares.

Bnnkera Doing Well, But Expect to Do a
Grent Deal Better.
There were) no unusual movements among
Pittsburg banks yesterday, but the volume of
regular business was large, checking and de
positing especially. Exchanges were 2,810,
510 77, and balances $505,325 33, showing a
healthy condition of general trade. Money

A bank officer remarked: "The spring trade
is opening up slowly on account of the back
ward weather, high water and bad roads, but I
think it will bo in full swing in a week or two.
It promises to be large. If I am not disap-
pointed in my expectations we will soon find
employment for our idle money."
Money on call at New York yesterday was
easy, ranging at 2H3 per cent; last loan, iK;

An Eventless Dm In the Oil Market Holes
From I lie Field.
Yesterday was the dullest day experienced
In the oil market for a long time. The opening
was tame and featureless, with very little doing.
Up to 2 o'clock only about 5,000 barrels were
handled. After that time the market rallied a
little and a few deals were made, but nothing
important -transpired. The close was about
steady at Jc better than the opening figure.
The fluctuations were: Opening, 82c: highest,
SSc: lowest, 82c; closing, 2c Refined was
unchanged but weak. The foreign trade was
reported in bad shape owing to Russian com
petition and developments in India. Tuesday's
clearances were 274,000 barrels.
The Vandergrlft well at Groveton shows
staying qualities. It is still turning out 1.200
barrels of oil a day, and its neighbor, the Deep
No. 2. of tho Fort Pitt Gas Company, was pro
ducing 30 barrels an hour yesterday after being
agitated a little. It has been decided to drill
the old Deep No. 1 deeper, in the hope of
largely improving it. as was done with No. 2.
Extensive preparations are under way for
Urge operation in the Groveton field.especially
on the old Quinn farm. This farm, containing
61 acres, was purchased a short time ago by
Jacob Schuler, a market gardener, for S62 an
acre. Now he has leased it for $150 an acre, a
one-sixth royalty and a bonus of 17,000, making
him a very comfortable thing.
The W. J. McKee well at Callery Junction Is
a fine one. It did 290 barrels the first 24 hours
after coming in and is holding ud to that figure.
The Girard well at Foxburg is five feet in the
sand and showing nicely, while the well on the
refinery lot there, operated by Gregory & Dale,
has been abandoned.
The Washington Oil Company's William
Noble No. 1, near Claysville, is showing for a
50-barrel well in the Gordon. The Citizens' Oil
and Gas Couinanv's McGowan is completed and
making 80 barrels from the Gantz. Christie &
Co.'s O'Donnell No. 1 Is making 75 barrels from
the fifth sand. The Washington Oil Com-
Eany's No. 1, on the Brownlee, is good for 50
arrels in the fifth. The Chartiers Oil Com
pany's No. 7, on the Robert Wright, is com
pleted ana will make a 75-barrel well from the
fifth and upper sand.
The Burt well, at Mannington, W. Va., bas
been drilled larther into the sand and is doing
600 barrels a day. The South Penn Oil Com
pany has bought the lease of Senator James E,
Turbee for 114,000 and will begin developing the
territory immediately.

THE STOCK MAEKET.
Lively Trndlne In Lncknvrnnnn I the Only
Frnltiro of n Very Dull Dny A mod
erate BnTlnsT IUovcment at
Slight Concessions.
New York, April IC The stock market was
again very dull to-day. especially for the gen
eral list and the unlisted department, but a
few special stocks still retained some specu
lative interest, and the dealings and fluctua
tions in those shares saved the market from
complete stagnation. There was moderate
buy ng of all the leading stocks on slight con
cession, but the demand no more than equaled
tho offerings, and prices failed m move in
cither direction. Rock Islaud and Missouri
Pacific were both rather heavy.
One of the principal causes'of the relapse of
Wall street into stagnation is found in the fact
that there is a railroad disturbance to inter
fere with any, financial 11 eisnre rf relief at
Washington, a ue great leature nt the trading
to-day, however, was tho special activity Jn
Lackawanna and its unusual strength. It was
the only stock on the list which attracted anv
attention to-day, and the movement in it was
attributed to different causes. There was no
news either in regard to the property itself or
the coal trade in general. The other coalers,
Including Reading, were extra dull and stag
nant with the rest of the list.
The only other stocks showing any move
ment of importance were Colorado Coal and
Tennessee Coal, the former continuing its late
advance and the latter sagging away again.
Neither movoment was for any apparent cau-e.
Among tho inactive stocks, .the Denver and
Rio Grande shares were strong and Oregon
Navisration moved sharply on small dealings.
The early dealings were affected by the desire
to realize which developed yosterday afternoon
and first prices wero fractionally lower, but
with considerable pressure upon the Grangers,
prices failed to yield to any material extent,
and a fnll recovery was had before the close of
business. The strength in Lackawanna and
the specialties was a support to the general
list, and the close was quiet and steady to Una
at insignificant changes for the day.
The unlisted department was almost neglect
ed nntil the last hour, when sugar moved up
fractionally on moderate sales.
The railroad bond market was more active
to-dav, and the feature of the day was the
strength in the Western New York and Penn
sylvania seconds, which furnished S216.000 out
of a total day's business of $1,464,000. The At
lantic and Pacific Incomes were also active,
and their sales reached 5102,000. The market
displayed a firm tone, and the final declines, of
importance are few in number.
The -Post says: "The lower prices for the
general market during the morning were due
to realizing of the profits on the advance from
Saturday and the direct result of the adjourn
ment sine die of the representatives of the
Western roads, which was caused by the result
of the failure of the Alton and the Missouri
Pacific to attend. There has been no change in
the money market, either here or abroad."
In the afternoon the market was heavy and
fractional! v lower, and closing prices show a de
cline of lAVyi. from the closing prices of yes
torday. Lackawanna was an exception, having
closed 1 higher.

New Yof.k. April 16. There was little
chance in the drypoods market. Demand con
tinued moderate and irregular, and somewhat
divided between the present and next season's
wants. Low grade cotton goods are still rather
in buyer's favor, though agents are not anxious
sellers, and the raw material is more and more
felt as a factor, liable at -any time to enhance
Values or goods. Fine and medium fabrics are
well sold up and generally firm. Woolen goods
continue quiet. Print cloths are very firm, with
more buyers than sellers.
Speculators and investors in stocks,
grain, etc., get exceptionally good service
with the old reliable brokerage firm", Mc

DOMESTIC MARKETS.

Wednesday, April 16, 1S90. J
Country Produce Jobblns Prices.
The situation is much the same as at our last
report. Eggs are firmer but unchanged. Po
tatoes of good quality are very strong and a
rise is about certain at an early day. It will
not surprise dealers to see good potatoes up to
SI per bushel within a week. Already they
have reached this figure in Eastern markets.
The supply here is light. Creamery butter con
tinues easy, and prices will probably he forced
downward within a day or two. Country rolls
are in supply above demand, and markets are
in huyer's favor. Low grade stock is hard to
sell at any price, consumers giving the prefer
ence to butterine. Pineapples are showing np
in fine shape the past week, and are selling
freely at 13 to J4 per dozen.

veal. Package coffee is steady. Tho move

wholesale dealers are kept hustling to nil or

the surrounding towns in unusually large num

of trade promises great things.

Grain, Flonr nnd Feed.
Thero were no sales on call at the Grain Ex
chance to-day. It is evident that the boom bas
reached its climax. Receipts of hay and mill
feed have increased the past few days, a fact
due to the strong prices prevailing of late and
tho improved weather. Corn is still firm and
oats aft steady, but futures are not so strong as
they were at the beginning of the week. Flour
is very firm at the recent advance, and Jobbers
look for another rise liefore the week is out.
Northwestern millers are strong in their views
of values, and at present prices jobbers are loft
verv small margins of profit. Receipts as bul
